Who or what is that one character, vehicle, ect. that you have always wanted in toy form, but never saw more than a prototype? (EDIT: Not to say that they even got as far as a prototype. Just that that may be the farthest they ever got)

For me, that character is Johnny 5 from Short Circuit.

The most he has seen is a few Garage kits here and there, but they were VERY limited run and although it's not really a problem, were not licensed. It's insane to me, because the first movie was successful (and I personally love the second), but no toys! I mean, come on! A toy robot practically sells itself and they had one star in a movie! As a huge fan, it is painful. Hopefully with a re-make on the horizon (that I am nervous about), some classically inspired products will surface.

Who is that one character that you have always wanted in toy form?

That was my question as well, and why I hadn't responded yet.

Sorry guys, I should have clarified. What I mean is, that has to be the farthest they have ever gotten, but not necessarily how far they got. Nothing that got farther than a prototype is the best way to put it, I think.

There are tons of them...

Marionette (thanks for reminding me kevfett!)Jaxxon from the early, early Star Wars comics (anybody else ever consider him to be the inspiration for Bucky O'Hare?)The Tonnika SistersAmethyst, Princess of Gem WorldRobin (Stephanie Brown)and pretty much any TV/movie robot that hasn't had an action figure before (alongside those who have-- would love to have a whole line made in 3 3/4 scale compatible with the Star Wars build-a-droid droids): Johnny 5, Robby the Robot, Robot Monster, Huey, Dewey and Louie (Silent Running), Marvin the Paranoid Android, LiS Robot, Black Maria, etc

Didn't they make that? Albeit not as scale as it should have been.

Nope-- all they made in action figure "scale" was the Opee Sea Killer, -- the Colo Clawfish was released in the Battle Bags pvc mini line, and the Sando Aqua Monster has never seen any sculpting daylight..

Yup, the Clawfish. I thought it was pretty cool.
